On March 18, 2025, the Raleigh office received a report of possible non-compliance with childcare requirements. Upon arrival at the facility, I was greeted by the director, Haley Logan. Ms. Logan assisted me during the investigation. There are fifty (50) children present this date, ranging in age from infant-zero (0) to 5-years-old. Allegation: There are allegations of violations of child care requirements. Today I discussed the concerns stated in the report with the director. This gave the director and staff an opportunity to share information regarding the allegations made. We then conducted a walkthrough of the facility and an observation of all classrooms. CONCLUSION: Based on my observations and conversations with the director and staff, the allegation regarding violations of child care requirements is UNSUBSTANTIATED. However, the following violations were observed, cited and technical assistance, and resource links were offered. Violation Number Comment Rule 428 A current activity plan was not posted for each group of children for reference. Three classrooms did not have posted a current lesson plan. GS 110-91(12); .0508(a) 843 A drug or medicine was administered after its expiration date. An Epi Pen was expired as of 11/24. 10A NCAC 09 .0803(1)(d) 847 Parent's medication authorization did not include required information. One sunscreen (Lacura Sun Screen) did not have an ending date on the medication form. 10A NCAC 09 .0803(4)(6-9) 871 Center staff did not comply with the safe sleep policy.

Corrective Action is required to promote a safe and healthy environment for children and to reduce the recurrence of noncompliance with childcare requirements. Please be aware that any information obtained during the investigation and any violations determined may be included in future Administrative Action. Completion of Immediate Corrective Action does not prohibit the Division from taking further action; however, successful completion of the items will be considered when determining appropriate case closure. Technical Assistance: Today we discussed that all staff in the infant classroom are required to check for the rise and fall of an infant’s chest once they fall asleep. Teachers must check and record this information with their initials and times until the child wakes up. Please have all staff in your infant classroom review the ITS-SIDS policy. During today’s visit three classrooms did not have post a current lesson plan or there were no dates on the lesson plan. You are required to have current, dated and posted lesson plans in each classroom for parents to review. It is important that parents know what their child is learning each week so they can talk about it at home with their child to reinforce further learning. During today’s visit there was an Epi Pen that expired as of 11/24. This is considered an emergency medication and must be current to provide the child with medical relief. Please make sure all sunscreen forms are monitored for expiration dates, and they must have a starting and ending date on them.

Currently this program operates with a Four-Star License issued February 17, 2023. The last Annual Compliance was conducted on June 14, 2023. Upon my arrival today I was greeted by the director, Haley Logan and she assisted me on my walkthrough of the facility where attendance was recorded, and observations were made. Today I observed the children playing outside on the playground and in centers inside. A Sanitation Inspection was last conducted on April 12, 2024, and received a “Superior” classification and four (4) demerits. The center’s Fire Inspection was conducted on August 2, 2023, and was approved for daytime care only. Medication storage, emergency medication, action plans and parent authorization to administer medications were monitored. Storage of hazardous items was monitored. Program records and required postings were monitored. The outdoor learning environment was observed. This program currently does not provide transportation. Today staff and children’s records were monitored per DCDEE procedures and found in compliance. Today six (6) children’s records were monitored. A fire drill was documented on May 22, 2024. A Lock Down /Shelter-In-Place drill was documented on March 6, 2024. A Playground Inspection was documented on June 5, 2024. The following violations were cited during the visit and technical assistance was offered. Violation Number Comment Rule 721 All equipment and furnishings were not in good repair. A large piece of equipment had nails that were sticking out from the wood on the main platform. G.S. 110-91(6); .0601(b) 807 A safe indoor and outdoor environment was not provided for the children. In space 2 there was a teachers purse sitting out where children could reach it. 10A NCAC 09 .0601(a) 840 All corrosive agents, pesticides, bleaches, detergents, cleansers, polishes, any product which is under pressure in an aerosol dispenser, and any substance which may be hazardous to a child if ingested, inhaled, or handled were not stored in a locked room or cabinet. A cabinet in space 1 was unlocked and had Clorox cleaners in it. .2820(b) 847 Parent's medication authorization did not include required information. The medication permission form was expired on an over the counter Coppertone sunscreen. 10A NCAC 09 .0803(4)(6-9) 1867 The depth of the loose surfacing was not based on critical height of the equipment. A piece of equipment that was over 18 inches tall did not have enough mulch around the slide and entrance to the equipment. The mulch measured two inches deep. .0605(k)(1-4) The above violations must be corrected immediately. A Corrective Action Letter must be drafted with the name of your facility, the facility identification number, and your signature. The letter must be received before 5:00 PM June 18, 2024. The letter should include each item’s number of noncompliance cited, describe how and when the violations were corrected. Please include accompanying documentation of compliance. The letter can be emailed to rena.mccaffrey@dhhs.nc.gov. If a compliance letter is not received by my office by 5:00 PM June 18, 2024, a return visit may be conducted to ensure the violations cited have been corrected or addressed. Additional violation may be documented if each violation has not been properly corrected or otherwise addressed. Please be aware that any information received during this monitoring visit and any violations cited may be included in any future administrative actions. Violations of child care requirements, particularly repeated violations, could result in a civil penalty and/or administrative action that could jeopardize the status of the license for the child care facility. Technical Assistance: Today we discussed that with a structure over eighteen inches high it must have an approved ground cover that meets the depth of the loose surfacing based on critical height of the equipment. As we discussed today you need to place the mulch at the bottom of the slide and sides where a child could fall off. Today we spoke about the main platform of the equipment having nails that are protruding out and could cause a child’s shoelace to get caught and trip a child. All hazardous materials should be in a locked cabinet and five feet off the ground away from children. Items like purses should be in a locked cabinet away from the children’s reach. Staff purses can contain things like medication or lighters that could cause serious injury to a child. Therefore, it is imperative that staff purses should be locked away from small children. In infant and toddler classrooms daily activities can get very busy. Please make sure your teachers have a system for monitoring diaper cream and sunscreen forms for expiration dates on the medication and the expired medications. I would suggest having the teachers do a weekly check on these items. Today we discussed that currently you are not providing transportation. Should you decided to begin transporting children on field trips please contact me in advance so that I can come out and check that all transportation requirements are being met. Today space one was over capacity for that classroom. Please be mindful as you are enrolling children to know your classroom capacities. Reminders: Please complete a Lockdown/Shelter in Place before the end of the month. These must be completed every three months. Sandra E. needs to renew her Health and Safety training before 11/15/24. Mrs. Haley, you need to renew your ITS SIDS training before it expires on 8/26/24. Your next fire inspection is due before August 2, 2024. Please make sure you email me a copy of the report within five days. Please remember that if any changes are made to the owner’s name (person in charge of the facility) or a new director is put in place you must contact your state consultant immediately to provide them with the most updated information. You and your staff were provided with an opportunity to ask questions regarding interpretation and implementation of all child care requirements. Child care licensing rules and regulations are established to ensure a safe and healthy environment for children in care. Therefore, it is important for you to be knowledgeable of all the licensing requirements that apply to your program. It is your responsibility to always maintain compliance with all the applicable laws and rules. The best way for you to make sure that you are meeting all requirements is to periodically review the child care law and rules.

Today we spoke about the main platform of the equipment having nails that are protruding out and could cause a child’s shoelace to get caught and trip a child. All hazardous materials should be in a locked cabinet and five feet off the ground away from children. Items like purses should be in a locked cabinet away from the children’s reach. Staff purses can contain things like medication or lighters that could cause serious injury to a child. Therefore, it is imperative that staff purses should be locked away from small children. In infant and toddler classrooms daily activities can get very busy. Please make sure your teachers have a system for monitoring diaper cream and sunscreen forms for expiration dates on the medication and the expired medications. I would suggest having the teachers do a weekly check on these items. Today we discussed that currently you are not providing transportation. Should you decided to begin transporting children on field trips please contact me in advance so that I can come out and check that all transportation requirements are being met. Today space one was over capacity for that classroom. Please be mindful as you are enrolling children to know your classroom capacities. Reminders: Please complete a Lockdown/Shelter in Place before the end of the month. These must be completed every three months. Sandra E. needs to renew her Health and Safety training before 11/15/24. Mrs. Haley, you need to renew your ITS SIDS training before it expires on 8/26/24.
